Okay, so we have a lakehouse with no internet and I eat like NO OTHER. I do so well during the week, I'll lose weight, but then the weekend comes around and I suck it up. Literally I'm like a vaccuum. So does anyone have any tips? I was thinking about getting a diary to keep down there that way maybe if I see what I'm eating, I won't as much?

There these food diaries u can get from barnes and noble and most of them have a list of Food in the back with nutrition info! of u can just get a food diary and one of those books that list pretty much all food and nutrition

    A diary will help, and make sure you only eat at certain times of the day, stick to your schedule. Eat about every 3 hours, keeping your meals small and your snacks filling, and drink lots of water. Are you sticking to your workout on the weekends? That always helps keep me motivated. If I take the time to do some pilates or walking, I'm less likely to pig out.

    How about a calorie king book and journal if you cant use internet or mfp app?

    Find something else you could get up to like reading, some sort of game, hiking, swimming, or something that you can do productively. Btw I checked out your profile and noticed you are rather funny or at least your profile made me chuckle! :)

    It depends on you a little bit. For me I have to keep track of EVERYTHING that I eat during the day. I have a goal calorie intake, and I tell myself I cant have anymore than that. I can give myself more calories by exercising.

    This helps me when I get those hungers like you are talking about. Cause I can tell myself, tough luck, if you want more to eat, go for a run.

    I have the same problem! I do so well during the week but every time the weekend rolls around I just lose all hint of self control and pig out! I'm hoping someone on here has some advice for you because it could definitely help me out as well!!!

    You could also write down all your nutritional information for things you know you will have there, to better track what you are eating. Try pre-planning meals for yourself while you are there, so that you already know what and how much you will be eating ahead of time, then you won't be so tempted to go over.

    On the weekends I still stay accountable, but if I go over I don't stress. If I am to strict on myself, I know I will quit. I see the weekends as small cheat days, that way I know I can make it through the week. Take it one day at a time, we can't be perfect everyday and know that it's just a small set back, not the end of the world. Keep up the good work.
